My First Valentine

Today is the day all about love.

This is probably one of my favorite holidays.

Many might scoff & say I like

because I HAVE a Valentine,

but this holiday is so much more than that.

It is about celebrating love

loving where you are right now,

and treasuring those close to you.

A little girl reminded of me tonight

when she walked into the coffee shop

with her daddy.

My heart stopped,

and my mind drifted to all the Daddy Daughter dates 

I used to go on with my father.

I have always been a Daddy's girl.

He was my first Valentine.
